Let's analyze the reading!
For Andy Hargreaves what the current teacher must master in education is?
Answer: Application of work strategies, knowing how to master time management in classes, the correct distribution of activities in the classroom, new forms of evaluation and accountability.
Wrong answer
Justification of why…
Among the many ideas that arise from the opinion of the author Andy, the core point is in this case the educational change that we teachers have in education, this change is not a restructuring in schools, but a change in attitude on the part of the teacher, attitude that must have depth in feeling and this must be directed in the first instance with the heart, that is to say, education in a humane way, attending with love to those who are educated for what is required to reculturate the country under this tune. “The educational change must have more depth. It is necessary to put the heart back ”. HARGREAVES Andy, 2003, p. 24.
The author affirms that the current change strategies related to standards, goals, checklists, attendance and evaluation and preparation of forms, if as teachers we fully focused our participation on it, we could run out of time to be interested in our students or connect with they less and less, which would cause distance between teacher-student and little emotional affection.
It refers to the fact that at the moment the initiatives of change in education have been focused on the skills and standards that have not reached the core of a true teaching. So it invites intense emotional work for teachers in the classroom, loving and hard work.
What does the author mean when he talks about broadening and deepening the search for success?
Hargreaves affirms that the emphasis on the emotional has still been insufficient in today's education, that we as teachers as agents of change should not overlook feelings and emotions, because these are crucial for a new educational reform necessary in these times current.
"Education with love, the best educational reform"
Why is it necessary to broaden our focus on educational change and school improvement?
Because in these current times where the globalizing system absorbs us, it envelops us in its alienating politics, turning us into self-centered, individualistic beings and beings who are not very affective towards others.
For this reason, the challenges for us teachers in these postmodern times must consist of offering a teaching to the child with feeling and affectionate affection.
Give feeling to what we do
As a teacher, we must be active emotional, participatory and innovative agents that respond to new and different educational models that offer educational visions and practices in different ways based on the work environment based on affection and affection.
We must also start from the socializing consideration of school education, because affection arises from it, we need to resort to certain references that guide us, support and justify our actions so that it can pose or face the challenges framed in the conditions of a new heading to current education.
Why give new meaning to teaching?
Because education as a social task, allows the integration of the individual into his contextual relationship through the understanding, sense and orientation of his knowledge; teachers must contribute to consolidating a harmonious system in their work. Faced with the constant reconstruction of a harmonious society, education makes possible and establishes the social relations between men, their nature and their forms of production, defining their own action, which is why they begin these habits with children from the classroom.
What is the meaning of education?
The meaning of education is to ask about the meaning of life. Work is one of the unnatural human activities that man has created and at the same time creates it. Work regulates time, social relations, possibilities of access to material goods, but we are not only working beings.
How to make sense of what to do as a teacher?
Education is not a thing we stumble upon and start analyzing. Education is an activity to which we can dedicate ourselves and to the extent that we dedicate ourselves we do it.
It is, therefore, something to do, which will have one or the other characteristics according to the will of those who are engaged in the educational task.
